re: The game wasn't that bad. Rewatch it. We were VERY improved

UW is a bowl team this year. Let's not forget that school has two NC's as well. Alot of pride there. They wanted that game bad. LSU really did have alot against us playing this game. JJ is only starting his third game. GC kept it simple to protect him and he did well.

My problem was our DE's. No containment, No pressure and bad angles on the rush when they did get in. This makes it awful easy for a GREAT QB like Locker to pick apart a good secondary.

I was upset last night and after the replay feel a bit better. The DE's must play better though if we compete in the SEC.

Bottom line is my Tigers are playing for the next few months, and it's great. I don't forget I am a fan, win or lose. I don't want to be too spoiled. We all have to stay hungry.

UW is definitely a bowl team this year. If people think that this UW team is the same team as last year, they are sadly mistaken. Jake Locker, I'm sure is going to eat up even USC's defense when it is all said and done. I'm not sure UW will win that game, but I know that USC will respect the Huskies when the game if finished. With that said, I know that LSU played a quality opponent and will continue to improve.

If this team had Glen Dorsey and Leron Landry, i'd be predicting a return to the NC game. unfortuneatly, guys like that don't come around very often. its amazing how one guy on the DL can influence games. Remember Henry Thomas, Chad Lavalais, Ron Estay even.

IMO our weakness is at Defensive end and SS. Hopefully Loston or Taylor will come on along with Montgomery or another DE.

I didn't see the game or the rerun, but looking at the box-score, the stats say UW should have won.

I cannot believe a LSU defense allows 478 to the Huskies. The offense generated a respectable 321, albeit against a Pac-10 team.

Again, I didn't see the game, but I am worried from a stats standpoint.

RIGHT! Someone at Tiger HQ better get real, and FAST. Screw that Negatiger BS. Watch the game and face facts.

1. We were killed in time of possession, based on the D-Line being manhandled. No joke. Think Washington has a better O-Line than Bama?

2. How many defensive stops were ALMOST made only to watch the Huskie QB outrun, easily, a slow end or tackle? Why wasn't there a backer on him! Did Chavis think that Raheem Alem was going to will himself to 4.5 speed!

3. Did anyone notice the overall look of awkwardness, the "about to fumble the handoff" nature of Jordan Jefferson? Does it not look like the most basic component of running the ball, the QB-RB handoff is so awkward it slows our plays down?

4. Other than seeing the TV cuts to Chavis looking old and tired (the time change must have KILLED him) on the sidelines, it looked like last years team on D.

My biggest concern is that we didn't look ANY better on D, and those that think we will be OK by getting in to scoring battles better pray hard, cause I don't see it. Who would have thought that Washington had the more impressive QB, RB and Receiver!

LSU walked into a buzzsaw came out with a win. UW was recharged, angry and talented. It could have bee worse. In the end, UW will win 8-9 games and this will be looked at as a quality win.

I saw it this way.........after surrendering a TD on the game's first possession, LSU outscored Washington 31-9 during the next 54 minutes.

I thought the same thing, but part of my being pissed off was the poor ESPN crew and the camera that never was focused or still and the missing of Toliver's first touchdown. Add a better crew, a better camera and some attention to the actual game and it wasn't so bad.
